Continued hearing on proposed Precise Plan No. 5 -78 for 12 -unit develop- ment at 948/950 Virginia Street - Anastasi Construction Company The Mayor announced that this was the time and place heretofore fixed for subject hearing continuation and inquired of the City Clerk if any written communi- cations had been received. The City Clerk replied that none had been received. Planning Director Loverde advised that the Director of Public Works would report on flooding problems. Reported that the Planning Commission had approved the Negative Declaration after further review. Recommended adoption of the Precise Plan and certification of the Negative Declaration. Director of Public Works Glickman reported that flooding occurs during the rainy season in the 900 block of Virginia Street, that the drainage system is not adequate and the addition of subject units would cause a greater run off of water. Advised that the 1978 -83 Capital Improvement Program included the Master Plan Flood Control System for that area. Described an alternate plan for discharge of the water at a cost savings and that if work is to be done this year, appropriation of funds would be necessary. Stated he had indication from the Anastasi Construction Company that it would be willing to financially participate in a system to alleviate the flooding and that a representative would comment on this. The Mayor inquired if anyone present wished to speak either in favor or in opposition to this project. Mr. Jim Ottman, 942 Virginia Street, stated that flooding on Virginia Street affects everyone who travels that street and something should be done. Mr. Earl Ballentine, 946 Virginia Street, stated he was not against the condominiums being built, but did not want greater flooding problems. Councilman Van Vranken inquired if a representative from the developer was present. There was no response. Council and staff then discussed different ways of financing a storm drain system, the possibility and extent of participation by the developer and making assessments to the property owners was rejected as being unfair and undesirable. X at171 Mr. Jim Ottmon stated he wanted to go on record as being against an assess- ment, that—he a put up with flooding for 35 years and he did not wish to contri- bute now because a condominium development was being built. After further discussion, motion was made ::,y Councilman Van Vranken, seconded by Councilman Bue, that this hear ina r,e continued until the next regular City Council meeting. Motion carries. b. SPECIAL REPORTS a. Initial Study for proposed LAX 10 -year lease to Pan American Airways, Inc. for freight housing facilities on Imperial Highway Councilman Nagel reported that some years ago the Airport held a series of hearings regarding development of a master plan for development of the airport, at which hearings El Segundo had participated. Stated that a master plan for development map was issued designating the area westerly of Sepulveda between the Airport and Imperial Highway as a buffer zone with some aircraft related usage, but that the Airport Commission adopted a different zone for this area designating it as airport buffer area, parking, storage, terminals, cargo and office uses, per- mitting aircraft under power or engine run ups. Stated that at that time the idea was that existing uses of the aircraft under power would be phased out as soon as practical. Stated he thought it would be an infringement on the statements made at the hearing if the Airport permitted Pan American Airways to renew its 10 -year leasehold on the facilities on Imperial Highway, especially in view of the fact that an Air Cargo City is being developed easterly of Sepulveda. Presented a draft response he had made expressing objections to continuing the lease and, thereafter moved that the Council approve such a response for submittal to the Los Angeles Airport General Manager, Environmental Planning Department and the Airport Commission. Motion was seconded by Councilman Van Vranken and carried unanimously. Mr. Cal Egerton, Airport Community Relations Director, in response to Counci s inquiries regarding PAA aircraft under power, stated that aircraft towing was expensive and when tow trucks were not readily available, the aircraft was taxied into position. Responded to Council's questions about engine run ups at night, that there was a telephone number to call to register complaints. b. Grant application by LAX for Community Land the Compatibility Study City Manager Jones reported that the Los Angeles Department of Airports had submitted a request for grant to the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as required, and that SCAG had invited the communities surrounding the airport to comment on the application. Stated the grant applica- tion had been prepared without any input from surroundies cities and structured so that the Department of Airports would administer the land use compatibility study, requesting participation by the surrounding communities after the fact. Stated it appeared SCAG would approve the request and forward it to the Federal Aviation Administration. Recommended that SCAG be urged to only conditionally approve the grant application; that each of the interested communities be allowed to participate actively in the study; and if this is not a condition, then urge SCAG to reject the application. Motion was made by Councilman Benson, seconded by Councilman Bue, that the City Manager's recommendations be-accepted. Councilman Nagel stated he did not see the merit in this study, that he anticipated getting the same answers for additional costs with no benefit to the City of El Segundo. Therefore, offerred a substitute motion to oppose the grant application, but if approved by SCAG, that conditions be attached to allow direct participation in the study of the Land the Plan. -2- Council Minutes September 5, 1978 X47 y2 Councilmen Benson and Bue thereupon withdrew their motion and second after which Councilman Benson seconded Councilman Nagel's substitute motion, which carried unanimously.

ORAL COMMUNICATIONS a. Mrs. Cheryle Barkwill, 813 Center Street asked if there were any plans for parking on Main Street for those who worked in the shops on that street . Director of Public Works Glickman advised that employers are obligated to provide parking for their employees. After further discussion, the Mayor suggested that the Chamber of Commerce may be willing to look into this problem. Mrs. Barkwill then asked whether there would be additional security provided fort the park expansion area, that she was worried about the drug trafficking in the park by youths. The Mayor responded that the existing forces would be pro- vided as they are in the park now. b.
